The Erie Canalway Trail is a scenic way that runs alongside the Erie Canal. The Canal connects the Hudson River with Lake Erie and was finished in 1825. It is of great historical significance, as it was the first navigable waterway that connected the Great Lakes to the Atlantic, paving the way for more effecient trade and boosting the economic success of the New York State region.
